CONSTITUTIONAL LAW May (2026) CONSTITUTIONAL LAW UPDATES AND JUDGMENTS

The petitioner, a transgender person, had applied or sought to apply for a government vacancy that had been notified only for a particular binary gender (either male or female). An Advisory Committee constituted under the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 purported to adjudicate upon the eligibility of the petitioner for the said post and effectively restricted her application on account of the gender for which the vacancy had been notified. The petitioner invoked the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction under Article 32 of the Constitution challenging this determination on the ground that it violated her fundamental rights of equality, non-discrimination, and gender identity.
